This paper explores the qualities of researches of International Literature with regard to the comparison of using virtual and real experiments in the teaching and learning of Physics. Afterwards analyzed the distributions of frequencies some of qualities, such as the learning outcomes, the age of people in the researches, the thematic unit and the type of natural world (Microcosm, Macrocosm) with which were related the concepts and the phenomena of experiments of each research and the source of virtual experiments. Finally, some conclusions are referred in regard to the necessity of further research for the comparison of learning outcomes virtual and real experiments in the teaching and learning of Physics.
